Bamforth National Wildlife Refuge is a national wildlife refuge in Albany County, Wyoming run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is closed to all public use: no one may land on or enter it.
Current notices posted by the managing agency. Checked Oct. 5, 2026.
- Closure: Refuge is closed to public access, with the exception of hunting. Access to Bamforth National Wildlife Refuge is limited because it is made up of three separated sections of land that are surrounded by non-federal lands. The Refuge is not signed or fenced. Because of possible trespass issues, the Refuge is closed to public access, with the exception of hunters during the designated hunting season.

Fire restrictions
This unit's own agency alerts list no fire restriction as of Oct. 5, 2026. We do not check a statewide fire-order feed for WY, so that is not a statement that no order exists, and not a green light for a fire. Check with the land manager and your county before you light anything.
County and local burn bans may also apply on private, state, or county land nearby. On federal land, follow the land manager's order; off it, follow the strictest county or local rule that applies. When both touch your trip, obey both.
